Croscill Home Laviano 27-Inch by 27-Inch European Sham, Aqua

Croscill Home Laviano 27-Inch by 27-Inch European Sham, AquaThe Euro sham is a bit large, and the aqua blue side is a tad dark. Because the blue side is dark, I only use the brown side. I was able to purchase a set of shams at a significantly discounted price (in excellent condition), so I didn't return them. Just be aware, the blue side is a little darker than the matching decorative pillows (even with white cases on the Euro pillow).

Hollander Organic 300-Thread Count Cotton Covered Pillows, 2-Pack

Hollander Organic 300-Thread Count Cotton Standard Covered Pillows, 2-PackLike the previous review stated, the pillows sent are NOT actually Hollander pillows but a Walmart knock-off brand called Canapy that are not even remotely close to a genuine Hollander pillow. Very disappointing, sent back and now waiting for a refund. Do not buy unless you want Walmart pillows.

like others stated, this is mislabeled as "organic" and is actually a walmart brand. pillow is crappy. hard. lumpy. and it is not "organic" at all. i'd send back but more of a hassle than worth.

The pillows I received were not "Hollander" labeled. The label was Canopy Walmart's version. I immediately returned the pillows. If I wanted Walmart's brand, I would have bought Walmart's brand. This in my opinion is the old 'bait-and-switch' and I am very disappointed that it is allowed by Amazon.com

These pillows are not what they are advertised as. The Hollander pillows I have had in the past were wonderful. These pillows are cheaply made and uncomfortable. It was a waste of money, but I don't want to go through the hassle of returning them. SO disappointing!

Emilie Pillow

Emilie Pillow, 18x18, SILVER WHITEThe pillow in the picture is quite striking. Unfortunately, the back half is completely blank and that is not in the description. Seems like a big issue to leave out, but it may account for the good price, you are actually buying 1/2 a pillow.

I bought two for my couch almost two years ago. I look at them every day and love the color and design. They're perfect for any room and are very comfortable to top it off.

I just received this pillow yesterday. I love the design and don't mind that it's one-sided.

Miamica Embroidered "Upgrade Me" Black First Class All-in-One Foldable Travel Blanket / Pillow Combo

Miamica Embroidered 'Upgrade Me' Black First Class All-in-One Foldable Travel Blanket / Pillow ComboThis is a great travel blanket that is cuddley warm. You can clip it to the handle of your luggage so you won't lose it. I really like it because it folds into it's own pouch.

I like to travel by car and air. With the airlines not offering blankets (and thats a good thing), you need your own gear. This little blanket that folds inside itself is great. I even bought my sister, who is my travgel buddy, one for her birthday. I bought an extra one for maybe my daughter. If you like to travel in the air, this is the way to go.

I bought this because I love Miamica's products, it was cute, and I'm tired of freezing when I travel with the full blasting A/C. It's cute and sooo incredibly soft. My only complaint is I wish it was a little longer. Then I'd give it 5 stars.

Elegance Linen ® 1500 Thread Count Super Soft Egyptian Quality 4 pc Sheet set - All Size and Colors

1200 Thread Count KING Size 4pc Egyptian Bed Sheet Set, Deep Pocket, AQUA Light BlueThese sheets do not appear to be what is described. They are advertised on Amazon as "1200 Thread Count," but when we received them, the packaging actually said they were "like 1200 thread count." To me, that means they are not actually 1200 thread count sheets, but rather some imitation. Not impressed already. Also, the 2 "bonus" pillow cases are not the same color as the sheets and other 2 pillow cases. They are much more green and the sheets are blue. Not a big deal for us since we didn't plan on using them, but still kind of weird.

We decided to give them a try anyway, and they were a huge disappointment. The sheets seem to have two "sides" to themone side is very soft, almost more like jersey material, and the other side is this weird scratchy satin-type material. Since the scratchy satin side is totally uncomfortable to sleep against, we figured the soft side was the "correct" side.

The sheets sleep very warm, and don't have that nice cool feeling that good egyptian cotton sheets have. They also seem very thin and cheaply made, and after we had already taken them out of the packaging and washed them, we noticed a rip in the fitted sheet, and several brown stains. I guess we can't prove they arrived that way, since we didn't see this until after we washed them, but our washer/dryer has never stained anything else before, and certainly hasn't ripped anything!! So, they either arrived ripped and stained, or are made so poorly that one wash ruined them.

Either way, I would never recommend these sheetsI guess you get what you pay for.

My mother ordered these off my wishlist for Christmas. The listing is for 1200 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets. What came had a label reading "1500 Thread Count 100% Egyptian Cotton". After washing them, I noticed on the top sheet a label that read "100% Microfibers". Microfibers ARE NOT Egyptian Cotton. The seller, Mundo de Ofertas offered an apology in an email reply to my own, stating that "My competitor BESPOLITAN changed the listing description to give himself an unfair competitive edge. We would be happy to buy you the same sheets from BESPOLITAN himself to show what he is selling JS Sanders Microfiber sheets. We are not Pro Merchants like BESPOLITAN so we didn't change the ad description nor can we, but the listing did not say the sheets are 100% cotton. There are sellers who blatantly say the sheets are 100% cotton like The12c_us and Choice Linen who know they are deceiving customers. We have reported them to Amazon to no avail. We have reported BESPOLITAN to Amazon for changing the listing description."

It is Mundo de Ofertas that is selling the JS Sanders Microfiber sheets. Not just BESPOLITAN. If there is a way for suppliers to change the listing descriptions, then there is no such thing as an Amazon guarantee. It's an awful way to do business.

Don't be duped. Don't buy from Bespolitan or from Mundo de Ofertas.

The sheet set is advertised as "Includes 2 FREE! Bonus Pillow cases". It does NOT. When I questioned it I got this reply:

-------

Please forgive. There was a listing error. These do not have the two bonus pillow cases, but they do cost less.

I thought we had contacted everyone by email that ordered, and give them a chance to let me cancel the order or ship. Somehow your order was overlooked on the emails.

When selling on Amazon you list under someelse's listing when an item is already listed by someone else. You just try to stay under their price in order to sell more. Our Computer Person only saw the "4pc Set" listed and overlooked the "2 Bonus Pillow Cases" We can not get extra pillow cases.

------

They did refund me $10, but I bought this set because it included the extra pillow cases. For what it's worth, that was 2 weeks ago and they still haven't bothered to correct the advertisement.

I had a feeling these sheets might be too good to be true (i.e. the low price for "1200 TC" KIng sheets). First of all, the listing here says "1200", but the product label on the packaging of sheets I actually received says "1500 TC" --my first clue that something may not be 'right'. But whether 1200 or 1500 TC, the sheets absolutely feel more like 200, 300 or 400TC at the most! They are very, very thin, transparent, and feel & look cheaply made, especially the flat sheet. In addition, the fitted and flat sheet were 2 totally different shades of bronze (the color I ordered). It even looks like they came from two different sets altogether. On the 'mouth' of the pillowcases there is a decorative piping design, yet the lapel of the flat sheet has none (the top of the sheet where a decorative accent would normally be). --Which also leads to my suspicion that the flat sheet came from a totally different set! I've never bought a sheet set where the pillowcases and flat sheet didn't have a matching decorative accent. (*also, the listing here for the King sheet set says it comes with 2 'standard' pillowcase'; I was mislead because the pillowcases in the set I received were actually King size pillows. Had I known they were actually king size I wouldn't have spent the extra money on the matching king pillowcases that I have still yet to receive). Ugh. I ended up being extremely disappointed about something I was so excited to receive. :(

If you are looking for natural fibers, these are not. It says cotton but they are not cotton, 100% synthetic. I wouldn't mind it if at least they would give you the option to decide instead of advertising it as what it is not. Deceiving.

BedLounge Hypoallergenic (Regular Size, 100% Cotton Cover, Natural Color): The Ultimate Back Wedge,

BedLounge Hypoallergenic: The Ultimate Back Wedge, Bed Rest, Back Support, Comfort Reading PillowAt first, I really liked this bed lounge. It seemed clean and durable.

However, today, after owning this bed lounge only 3 months, I am very disappointed. I washed both the exterior cover and the interior cover. Both covers are made to fit so tightly on the bed lounge frame, that they both were ruined when I tried to put them back on the bed lounge after washing.

The interior mesh cover, the part that goes directly over the foam frame, is so small and so tight fitting, that it literally ripped into two pieces when I tried to zipper it back onto the bed lounge frame.

In addition, the exterior cover is also much too small and tight fitting. The zipper on the exterior cover always had problems zipping up. It would often take many attempts to zip up the exterior cover, or the zipper would lose its grip on one side of the teeth, and I would have to back track and re zip parts over and over.

This time, the zipper finally broke, completely detaching from one half of the zipper teeth, so that the exterior cover can no longer be zipped up.

This bed lounge is definitely not worth $150. In my experience, it only lasted three months, until its structural flaws made it obsolete. The covers need to be made much larger so that they can be easily removed, washed, and zipped back on to the frame without falling apart.

Update November 22, 2010:

I contacted BedLounge through Amazon. They have agreed to provide replacement covers for both the internal mesh cover and the external cotton cover. They advised me that the internal mesh cover should not be removed. I am confused by this, because the internal mesh cover has a zipper on it, implying it is removable/washable. But I will follow their advice and not remove it. Also, BedLounge advised me to wash the cotton outer cover in cold water. I did that, so I know that's not the problem. They also recommended air drying instead of using a drying machine. This is the only change I could make in my washing routine. BedLounge did respond promptly, within one day, to my e-mail through Amazon. So far, their customer service has been good in trying to resolve this. I will update this if and when I receive the new covers.

Update December 3,2010:

I received the new covers from BedLounge, both external and internal, for free, as promised. I will post further comment after seeing how the covers work.

Update December 7, 2010

I washed the external cover in cold water and air dried. I placed the internal mesh cover on the bedlounge without washing. While it was very generous of BedLounge to provide free replacements, even after washing in cold water and air drying the external cover, it is still unnecessarily tight. I tried to get my mom to help me put the external cover onto the bedlounge, and she couldn't figure it out. You have to be an experienced pro to get the cover on without tearing it or ripping the zipper in half.

I'm sorry BedLounge, I do appreciate the new cover and I will use it as long as it holds up, I just don't expect the external cover to last very long. Given how tight it is, something is going to rip.

I've owned this product for over a year now and for most of that time, it's sat as an ornamental piece on my sofa. Simply put, it's no good as a backrest as it's not sturdy enough to lend back support to even a child. The only thing you'll get from buying this product is a backache. You're better off investing your money in a whole new sofa instead of on this overpriced piece of junk.

Buy BedLounge Hypoallergenic (Regular Size, 100% Cotton Cover, Natural Color): The Ultimate Back Wedge, Now

I've had my bed lounger for over 10 years and it's still like new, so the construction is sturdy and solid! It even survived Hurricane Katrina! I too had a problem with drying the cover and it shrinking but I learned not to do that. I just purchased another cover. Problem solved. I was bedridden for years so this bed rest was a life saver for me. I used it every day to prop me up to watch TV, to use my laptop, to read and even to sleep. I like to insert a fluffy pillow behind my back to make it softer. Even though I'm healed now, I still use my bed lounger in the evenings after work to relax. I highly recommend this product. Ten years ago, I didn't pay quite that much for it but I'm getting ready to buy one for my best friend who is suffering from Fibromyalgia, the same illness that held me hostage in the bed years ago.

I received the BedLounge as a gift. Tried it for several days and found it was not for me. Too bulky and made my back and neck hurt horribly, no matter how I changed the configuration. Honestly don't see the value in buying this for $$ when pillows can do the same thing, and be more easily moved around. While buying direct from BedLounge aka cequal has a 60 day return policy, if you purchase through another vendor, BedLounge/cequal does not allow them this...only a 30 day return policy. So do not buy through another vendor unless you are aware of this! It is not stated on the attached tags that the return policies are so different, even though it ships direct from the maker, so very misleading. Mine is going on eBay but I doubt anyone will pay to ship the darn thing, it is so bulky and heavy (part of what I hated about it)...then we will explore flammability just to dispose of it! The dump will charge me to take it and I've already paid enough (in pain and annoyance) for this "gift!"

The Bed Lounge is just what I needed when I came home from the hospital. I could not sleep on my stomach or side for 4 weeks. Although I do not need it for the same purpose, I still use it just when sitting up in bed.

Luxurious WHITE Solid / Plain, FULL Size, 1000 Thread Count Ultra Soft Single-Ply 100% Egyptian Cott

Luxurious WHITE Solid / Plain, FULL Size, 1000 Thread Count Ultra Soft Single-Ply 100% Egyptian Cotton, Extra Deep Pocket Four Piece Bed Sheet Set with 2 Pillow Cases 1000TCI was expecting these to be amazingly soft and comfortable, but they are actually really quite thick and almost itchy when they first come out of the packaging. They feel almost like a mix between regular cotton and flannel. Now that I have washed them several times they are no longer itchy, but everything sticks to them (especially hair, it's gross) and they are starting to pill. My bed is only 14" deep and these don't even fit all the way around the edge, though thankfully they are not pulling off while I sleep.

These are fine, especially if you wash them often. They aren't as nice as I thought they would be though.

Thro by Marlo Lorenz 4182 Fancy Peacock 16 by 16-Inch Pillow, MultiI bought this cushion for my lounge as it needed an accent to go with the other blue silk cusions I had. Not only that as I'm an artist I'm currently painting a large canvas of a peacock for my lounge room and wanted this cushion to tie the theme together. I'm very happy with the cushion its well made, fairly delicate, very pretty and not something I have seen here in Australia before.

The colors on pillow are very vibrant. A great accent pillow to spice up my ordinary couch. I would keep away from kids.Very delicate...

1200 Series QUEEN 4PC Bed Sheet Set Microfiber Deep Pocket, DARK PURPLE

1200 Series QUEEN 4PC Bed Sheet Set Microfiber Deep Pocket, DARK PURPLEThe sheets feel good to the touch, and the service was excellent item received on time, but be prepared for a teenage-girls-room purple, not the "dark purple" as described.

I like these sheets; plus, they shipped 1500 thread count instead of 1200...bonus, if that wasn't just a gimmick. However, I misinterpreted the listing. I understood it as Eqyptian quality was equal to Eqyptian cotton. My mistake, I suppose, for falling for it; I just thought I had found a really good deal on 1200 tc Eqyptian cotton sheets (from a lower quality supplier, hence the price). They are in fact 100% Microfiber and I don't understand why the title doesn't say that; people like microfiber. All in all, I do like them despite feeling a little duped. They are comfortable and they hold up to my 90 lb. pit bull jumping in and out of bed...that is impressive. Good deal as long as you understand that it is microfiber.

Jovi Home Spot Cushion

Jovi Home Spot Jacquard Cushion, RedThese pillows look better in person than in the photo! It's hard to tell in the image, but the main background fabric color is also shiny like the puckered red circles.

REGAL COMFORT Forest Camo MicroFiber Sheet Set

WOODLAND CAMOUFLAGE - 6 Piece 800 Count Microfiber Sheet Set - QUEENThis is a real bad buy. At $20+ dollars it is hardly worth it, but $20 is pretty cheap. Do not think i will ever put them on a bed.

The picture is not what you get. There is hardly any color that resembles the picture, and they are very thin. Spend a few more bucks and get something better.

Sorry to be negative, but this is not a good deal in my opinion.

Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest Beware the Kraken Decorator Pillow Kraken

Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest Beware the Kraken Decorator Pillow KrakenAfter searching high and low for microbead pillows that weren't the usual tubular neck-support kind, I gratefully found these. The good news is they are very well-constructed; they are double-covered by stretchy fabric so they don't leak... The bad news is they are OVER-stuffed. The whole idea behind micro-beads is to provide incredibly cloud-soft support that utterly conforms to body parts -head, neck, back -without pressure points. Compared with the microbead neckrolls I already own, this pillow is like a solid lump. It's not very squishy. THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE IF YOU MOSTLY WANT IT FOR THE PIRATE-THEMED DESIGN. IF COMFORT ISN'T AN ISSUE, I'D GIVE IT FIVE STARS. The neckrolls that are designed purely for comfort seem to be half air-filled. Microbead pillows, particularly square ones, "slump." They are formless by nature. My situation is unusual in that I didn't want them for the design at all. I wanted comfy throw pillows for reclining porch chairs and these were the biggest ones I could find. To make them comfy I had to remove a LOT of beads. This is not easy. As I said, they are "double-bagged" with incredibly tiny stitches that are hard to pick out. The microbeads themselves are very difficult to control. They cling to everything. Re-sewing the seams demands care and some talent. The beads can leak out of the tiniest void in the stitching. In retrospect, it would have been easier to make them from scratch. Microbeads are hard to find but, I believe, you can order a bag from JoAnn Fabrics. Just don't forget to buy soft stretchy fabric like the type seen on all microbead pillows.

Smartsilk Set of 2 Pillows

Smartsilk Set of 2 King Size PillowsJust received these pillows which I purchased for my husband's allergies (dust mites & down). Using these to replace poly fill pillows with allergy encasing covers for dust mites. After the first night of using them, there was a marked difference in his quality of sleep and breathing. They are very plump with the right amount of softness as we are both side sleepers. These are wonderful and less expensive from Amazon than purchasing from the SmartSilk website. Getting ready to purchase another set, that's how much we love them.

There were no reviews for these pillows, but I decided to take a chance and order them anyway. For the price I thought they should be outstanding. I wasn't disappointed. They are nice and plump, yet they have just the right amount of give when sleeping on them.

This is a terrible pillow. The best way to describe it is like sleeping on soft oatmeal. If you put even the slightest weight on the pillow it instantly gets flat. I can not understand why so many people like this pillow. There is no spring to the pillow and is like sleeping on a thick, flat sheet. I was not sure about buying a pillow online, and I should have skipped it. You really need to feel a pillow to see if it is right for you.
